Hi All
Just wanted to introduce myself. Have been reading and enjoying this board for several years. Like you, I tend to get upset when fans use these boards as an opportunity to criticize every little thing Clay does. My reasons for joining a board are to support Clay, to celebrate him and to communicate with others who love him as much as I do. He is such a gift (and not too bad on the eyes, either!!).
I probably would have just gone on lurking, but the comment someone quoted from another board about the unclipped backflap just sent me right over the edge!! I never even noticed the backflap--guess I was too focused on those broad shoulders straining away on the jacket's fabric. ( Funny I remember reading about a similar incident back during the early part of AI2 when the backflap was unclipped and people seemed to think it was charming at the time.)
Have not been able to get into the OFC--guess they are not taking new members right now. But, from what I read here sounds like there may be a lot of negativity over there--not sure I have the stomach for it. I will keep trying, though, because I really want to be able to read those blogs and next time I'd like to try for a meet and greet.
Have been lucky enough to go to each concert once--starting with NAT in Rhode Island--last one was CITH at Mohegan.
May play the game of "What's Your Favorite," but not sure I'll be able to choose--have loved them all.
Not sure the intro. was supposed to be this long, but when it comes to Clay, I tend to get a little carried away.
